[edit] Tuteme?
- liberate tuteme||"save yourself"||[Event Horizon (1997)].
Um... not the best Latin obviously. Should probably go in the "fake" category, wherever we're putting that. I understand why they made all their mistakes... except for that -me at the end. What is that supposed to be!? --Iustinus 22:07, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, ok, now I get it. --Iustinus 23:33, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Names of sexual positions
Someone recently added a tergo and more pecudum. A tergo is indeed used as a euphemism for anal sex, though I am uncertain that it never refers to vaginal sex "from behind." More pecudum does seem to mean specifically what we refer to as "doggy style." I have seen a list of other names for positions, but I am not certain where exactly these originally come from. They include aversa Venus, equitatio, pendula Venus, pedibus sublatis, e lege natura. It might make sense to add some or all of these, especially if we can find more about their histories. --Iustinus 22:42, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lapsus Linguae
Surely lapsus linguae never means 'A "proglossis", "tip of the tongue" or "apex of the tongue"' as the article currently claims. --Iustinus 06:42, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alphabetical order - case insensitive
Hi guys,
IIUC the alphabetical order is meant to be case insensitive, isn't it? If so I guess a note about this in the introductory paragraph would be useful. --Gennaro Prota 01:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- All alphabetical lists are assumed to be case-insensitive unless stated otherwise. That's what "alphabetical order" means: the entries are listed in the order of the alphabet, regardless of case, spacing, etc. (thus "ab urbe condita" comes before "absit omen"). In fact, I've yet to see a single list on all of Wikipedia that was case-sensitive; for Latin phrases especially, whether certain words are capitalized or uncapitalized is usually arbitrary and would be useless for helping find a certain phrase. -Silence 01:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] French?
"On cause mieux quand on ne dit pas Causons." I'll admit I don't know Latin, but this phrase appears to be French. I was just browsing, so I'll defer to someone more familiar with this page/Latin regarding removal. Psyno 05:49, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fid def
Sorry, asserting Henry VIII to have been an heresiarch is definitely POV (as the article referred states, this is a traditional Catholic stance). More neutral would be "broke away from Rome" or "repudiated the authority of the Pope". Richard Pinch 20:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
